About Me

I started out fishing at the age of seven with my father and brother, both on fishing piers and on drift-fishing boats here in Miami, Florida. I started working on the all-day drift-fishing boats as a deckhand, and then I was promoted to first mate on the weekends at the age of thirteen. By that time I had experienced catching just about everything that swims and bites.
I continued working every weekend, holiday and summer, learning more about the art and skill of fishing these Florida waters, I knew that I was on my way to an exciting career and someday would be a captain of my own fleet of charter boats. After college I started working full time on the first “THERAPY” and built my first charter fishing boat in 1976. In 2010, my fourth boat THERAPY-IV was completed. It is the most amazing fishing boat that anyone could ever think of building.
The THERAPY-IV is the ultimate in luxury for deep sea fishing and a one of a kind experience for those looking to catch big fish off the coast of Miami in the deep sea fishing spots we know best or at some great spots around Biscayne Bay.
Let’s go fishing!!! The next big monster is out there waiting for you.
